REFURBISHED IN ROSEDALE
The home at 229 Douglas Dr. may look like the kind of house you’d expect to see in Rosedale, but hidden inside the Georgian exterior is a Scandinavian-inspired space that is shiny and new. The heritage home was built in the early 1900s, and the entire interior was recently renovated for minimalist contemporary living. The main floor is open and bright, connecting the living and dining area with a gourmet kitchen and cosy breakfast nook with south-facing windows overlooking the backyard. The house has four bedrooms and five bathrooms with 5,420 square feet of space. Other selling features include heated floors and tons of custom cabinetry for storage. It is on the market for $5.495 million with Chesnut Park Real Estate Limited, Brokerage.
